🤔 Let’s Talk About the Number Everyone Cares About

You can talk price all day long…

But at the end of the day, buyers are asking:

👉 “What is this going to cost me every month?”

Because that’s what determines:

👉 Comfort
👉 Lifestyle
👉 Whether it even works at all

So let’s get into real numbers 👇


🏡 Example #1: $400,000 Home

Assuming:

  • ~5% down

  • Typical interest rate range

  • Taxes + insurance included

👉 Estimated monthly payment:

💥 Around $2,700–$3,100/month


🏡 Example #2: $500,000 Home

This is a very common price point in Redmond.

👉 Estimated monthly payment:

💥 Around $3,400–$3,900/month


🏡 Example #3: $600,000 Home

👉 Estimated monthly payment:

💥 Around $4,100–$4,700/month


🧾 What’s Actually Included in That Payment?

A lot of people think it’s just the loan…

It’s not.

👉 Principal + Interest
👉 Property Taxes
👉 Home Insurance
👉 Mortgage Insurance (if applicable)

That’s the full picture.


🧠 What Impacts Your Payment the Most?

Three big levers:

👉 Purchase price
👉 Interest rate
👉 Down payment

Even small changes here can shift your payment by hundreds per month.


⚖️ The Biggest Mistake Buyers Make

They shop based on price…

👉 Instead of payment.

Two buyers can purchase the same home…

👉 And have VERY different monthly payments.


💬 Final Thought

The goal isn’t to buy the most house you can.

👉 It’s to buy the house that fits your life.

Where you can:

✔️ Pay your bills comfortably
✔️ Still enjoy your life
✔️ Sleep at night without stress

If you’re curious what your monthly payment would look like…

Let’s run the numbers.

Because around here…
👉 It’s ALL figure-out-able.


👉 “If you’re thinking about buying a home in Redmond Oregon, I can run your exact numbers so you know what your payment would look like.”
